“Trust in most” – is it true?
Does that most include you?
In this sea of many
When does most become few?
“Trust in most” – does it say?
Is it now, here today?
When it lands in my hands
Is this card good to play?
“Trust in most” – but how high?
What is too far to fly?
Will I fall at a wall
And hit an unseen lie?
Sometimes you fight by standing strong
Speak out against everything wrong
But sometimes fighting walks away
Your absence speaks when you can’t stay
When you put in your heart and soul
Letting go can take its toll
You have to pick up each strewn piece
Find what to keep and to release
Moving on still hurts, it’s rough
Releasing those deep bonds is tough
But faithful service is worth the cost
And love freely shared is never lost
Waiting for a bus or train
Waiting for the light to change
Waiting for the rain to stop
Waiting for the shoe to drop
Waiting for a grade or raise
Waiting on roadwork delays
Waiting for another clue
Waiting just to hear from you
Waiting for the day to end
Waiting to see round the bend
Waiting for the phone to ring
Waiting through the cold for spring
Waiting for important news
Waiting to see who will lose
Waiting to prove if it’s true
Waiting just to hear from you
I want to show to you
The world through my eyes
To give to you the beauty
Of all life’s lows and highs
I want you to feel
The world as I do
To know its joy and love
Its pain and heartbreak too
I want to walk with you
Through time’s winding trails
To find in what I write
A thread of common tale
The rhythm circles round and round
The banjo chuckles and the fiddle cries
Through the guitar’s climbing harmonies
Our bluegrass music soars and sighs
Begin with blues of trouble, loss
The next, a freight train’s rhythmic ride
Then turn to faith and glory land
And end at the old home countryside
What other songs can lift the soul
Can sing its joy and cry its tears
To capture in one melody
Life’s hopes and sorrows, love and fears
On the outside looking in
This is where I’ve always been
I belong but have no place
Still I hold on just in case
On the outside looking in
Hoping this is when I’ll win
The door’s ajar, I step inside
But I’m ignored and pushed aside
On the outside looking in
Rejected, shamed, and hurt again
That world inside, I finally see
Is a twisted, warped reality
On the outside looking in
A better life I will begin
I find it’s outside I belong
Where I can heal, where I grow strong
